Book IWD Speaker: Lisa Pagotto

Helping women break outdated leadership moulds through FIRE - a lived framework built on disruption, growth, burnout & reinvention

In the lead-up to International Women’s Day, Lisa Pagotto is introducing a keynote designed to meet the theme, "Give to Gain," with substance and strategy.

This theme speaks to something powerful: the idea that generosity in leadership starts with how we show up for ourselves. But for many women in leadership, that’s exactly where the tension lives - between performance and truth, between holding it all together and leading in a way that actually works.

Lisa’s keynote, The Power of Disruption: It’s Time to Burn the Rule Book, is a circuit-breaker for women who are tired of shrinking to fit outdated leadership models.

It introduces her FIRE Framework, not as theory, but as lived experience drawn from building a business, burning out, and rebuilding on her own terms. Each pillar offers a practical, emotionally intelligent lens for modern leadership:

Faith – Acting before it makes sense. Because instinct doesn’t wait for permission.

Integrity – Leading with truth, not performance.

Resilience – Rebuilding with boundaries, not burnout.

Evolution – Letting go of who you should be to become who you actually are.

What audiences will walk away with:
- Permission to lead on their own terms - not the ones handed down
- A practical framework for courageous, sustainable leadership
- A renewed sense of clarity, ownership, and direction

If your IWD event is about more than slogans, if it’s about equipping women with tools, truth, and real connection, Lisa would love to explore how this keynote could support your audience.
